So what do you do? Open it back up? Assuming other applicants have scattered in the wind. Starting to get a little late in the game.

Any truth to the rumors Nic Vasilchek has backed out again?

I often opined during my child rearing years, now having children of my own makes me understand why some species eat their young.

Which I did, prior some life changing events.

I have no interest in funding trips to Florida. Just at a point in my life where everyone else’s kids aren’t a priority for me.

I probably will, on my deck, in front of my Weber, with a beer in my hand. Not really the point of my post, but you already knew that didn’t you.

Doesn’t really have to do with gas, I’ve turned down a couple of SB games that were an hour plus away from home and only paid 60 bucks. It’ll be shitty softball, I’m probably five hours in from work to game to home, for 60 bucks…..nah. McDonalds is paying 15ish and hour to start right now.

In our SB rules meeting at least regarding coaches apparel we were told “officials are not the fashion police.” Apparently as more and more female coaches have opted for yoga pants some officials have taken exception. I assure it was never me.

This country was built on alcohol. For years when IO is out of his geographic home base, I always ask if they have any local brews. IO wonders at the science behind brewing/distilling. This past season of Moonshiners Tim Smith took a trip to several Mexican tequila and Mezcal distilleries. Fascinating generations old operations. The mix of science and art is truly amazing.

Or it could just be corporations trying to maximize profits and limit liabilities in a massively government manipulated market.

I’ll never not laugh at this and since the term “ghost gun” is in high rotation, enjoy the chuckle. For anyone who doesn’t know, you are able to build a firearm for personal use, it need not be serialized. You can not legally sell it. My guess is you are FAR more likely to find guns at crime scenes with serial numbers scratched off than not having any to begin with. To buy an 80% receiver, then do the work required to turn it into a functional firearm my guess is beyond the means or work ethic to be employed by many criminals.

I’ve done a lot of work in the healthcare field from the buildout standpoint. What you typically find is there is a mishmash of corporate entities in any given hospital enterprise. Some are for profit and others are not. For instance locally there is a company that owns all of the hospital’s real estate, they are for profit. While the hospital itself is non-profit. You also have various subsets within the hospital that are for profit, for instance if the ER is staffed out of house, or radiology I believe is require by law to have a third party read test results, etc. Long story short it’s very difficult to say it is or isn’t a non-profit business.

Or maybe governments artificially manipulating markets don’t work.

He has an insurance license.

Ehh, she’s one of nine and she’s replacing a justice that typically lands on the left side of the aisle, not a hill I’m willing to die on. A LOT of Indy’s problems could be solved by just having a judge look at a criminal’s record and decide bail accordingly rather than have a prescribed bail schedule. This is just simple local policing/justice fixes that will never rise to the level of SCOTUS.

I disagree, I think if you look at this locally, which ultimately it is, I think you can get changes made. I think there is a reasonable chance changes may be coming to Indy/Metro. I don’t think SCOTUS has jack shit to do with the issues I’m talking about, automatic bonds, taxpayer funded bail, if they need to go to prison, send them to prison.

A very small percentage of the population commits violent crimes in a metro area. The neighborhood knows who it is, the police know who it is, the prosecutors know who it is, remove them from society. These people don’t fear death, they fear being locked in a cell. Marion County is a prime example of prison reform gone wrong and how being woke costs people their lives.

The ghost gun thing is going to have constitutional issues. I will give the left credit though, “ghost” does make a homemade gun sound really menacing.

You gotta get with the times man, E-Bikes are all the rage in the cycling world.

Eagerly awaiting New York State Pistol and Rifle vs Bruin hopefully in June. That will end “may issue”.

Trust me Bob, the bar was not set real high in my expectations of the government. I believe in the Hippocratic Oath, it mentions something about “do no harm”.

Regardless of conspiracy theories, I think it’s pretty clear that this has been a boondoggle from the beginning, across party lines and two national administrations.

Commitment is a word that’s rapidly being erased from the American vocabulary.

Ehh, I was under the assumption that every building downtown was fair game. Probably IMPD’s fault.
